Diwali

Hello Rigmaroll, I saw that you moved the 5 Days of Diwali section under Hinduism. I do not know myself but are you sure that Sikhs and Jains don't celebrate Diwali as a five day period. Then again, many Hindus only celebrate the main day of Diwali. Just curious, thanks Gizza^{Chat ©} 01:48, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

You may be right. But the writeup as it is, is Hindu-centric. That is the reason for the move. If more content can be added to make it applicable to other religions, then it should deserve a section on its own. Rigmahroll 18:08, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for helping to clean up the citations on the Hinduism page. HeBhagawan 03:17, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Good job reverting vandalism, keep it up.--Arjun 21:10, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Coimbatore

Hi,

In my personal opinion I thought it looks more orderly in the present format. I think the earlier version had many bold sub-headings. But thats my personal opinion you are welcome to change the format.

Jisha C J 17:14, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

The Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Sections_and_headings suggests adding sub-headings to make it easier for a reader to navigate. I will go ahead and adjust them. Thanks for your response. ɤіɡʍаɦɤʘʟʟ 17:18, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

I was looking at this page Chennai for reference. Also, when the contents under a subheading are less than two sentences then the sub heading might look bigger than the contents. So I thought of cutting out some sub headings. Thats all. Jisha C J 17:33, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, me too. :) But most of the sections in Chennai have separate main articles. That may not be possible for Coimbatore. We can to that to Coimbatore if we edit the text to make it compact enough and remove some/all of the sub-sections. Do you have any suggestions on this? ɤіɡʍаɦɤʘʟʟ 17:43, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Maybe it is possible, but only if its backed by strong reference materials. The main articles for culture and history must be possible. Removing all subsections isnt possible, but some of them can be removed. Jisha C J

Then lets shoot for it section by section. ɤіɡʍаɦɤʘʟʟ 17:57, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Good work on the forestry part of the page. I had doubts about reported sightings of Leopard :). Do you in any case have some/any pics of the city much needed for the page? I had removed a image uploaded by a newbie user yesterday. --Jisha (Talk) 19:37, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Not really. I added some pictures a while back from commons. Lets keep looking. ɤіɡʍаɦɤʘʟʟ 23:52, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Chennai Tamil Unicode

Please refer to this page [[1]] which shows that in Tamil, the compound consonant-vowel with the sound e (ay), such as the Che in Chennai, has the symbol for the vowel first, then the symbol for the consonant. The same holds true for the nai letter: the Tamil symbol for the sound ai precedes the symbol for the sound n. Therefore, when you are editing the Tamil unicode script for the word Chennai, you are changing it to a misspelling. Transliterated letter-for-letter into Roman letters it would be eChnain. Look at this document [2] and you'll see that the Tamil Unicode character 0BC6 is designed to go before the consonant, not after it, and so is the character 0BC8, because that's how Tamil works. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fryguy777 (talk • contribs) 11:17, 22 March 2007 (UTC).

I am not disagreeing with you. Before proceeding further can you please check whether you have turned on complex character support on your computer. You can check that using this page. I have tested mine and it renders the samples properly. Let me know. ɤіɡʍаɦɤʘʟʟ 16:20, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I stand corrected! Sorry for all the trouble. I have now enabled complex character support on my computer and the Tamil spelling of "Chennai" now looks correct as you have it. Thanks for graciously educating me. Fryguy777 11:41, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: Rajinikanth article

I haven't been able to find many citations for the article. I also doubt much of the pre 2000 content will be on the net. ~~ AVTN ^{T C}_{V A} 21:19, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

bengaluru

i see that you have changed all references from bangalore to bengaluru in the iisc article. please observe here, that the consensus decision has been to keep it as bangalore as the name change hasnt been confirmed by the central govt. hence, please change it back in the iisc article and wherever else you made it bengaluru. yours Tommy Stardust 14:38, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

I will gladly change it back if you can point me to a reference that shows that it needs to be confirmed by the Central Govt. I could find anything quickly on google. The reference given on Bangalore article was dead. I have replaced that with a ref request.

sorry i wasn't clear but i meant to point to vote on the bangalore talk page, and the fact that the bangalore article is still "bangalore" and not "bengaluru". based on that itself, for the sake of consistency, i think u should revert it.Tommy Stardust 08:30, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Seeking opinion from regular editors on reference pattern

References: Notes and citations section; change in reference and notes temporarily ceased; WP:FOOT says I am not doing wrong; Separate Notes and Citation sections

Opinion is sought from regular editors of the article Hinduism regarding the splitting of Notes and references section. This is a short gist of the discussions going on in the above mentioned talk links: Having a separate "Notes" (for explanatory remarks) and "Citations" (for direct citations), although permitted, is relatively rare in Wikipedia, and also in academic journals. The main rationale behind doing this is to distinguish a series of explanatory remarks from the series of citations (please see Rabindranath Tagore, Demosthenes for examples).

This sandbox gives a glimpse of how the article would look if we split the sections (the sandbox is under work, so may not be perfect). This link shows how the article looks with combined section. This may give an idea how it looked when I started working on references. I converted many references to Harvard format, apart from splitting the sections.

Opinion for regular editors are sought regarding the application of splitting of two section for this article. Please do so in Talk:Hinduism in the section Talk:Hinduism#Seeking_opinion_from_regular_editors_on_reference_pattern. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 04:59, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
